History

Radio Contact is created in 1980 by Francis Lemaire, Pierre Houtmans, Freddy Neyts and Catherine Servaes, after replacing the local radio station of Brussels Radio Kosmos.

The first broadcasts of Radio Contact were in Dutch and French, in 1981 the French-speaking Contact stayed on the frequency 101.3 MHz, and the Dutch-speaking Contact got the 104.0 MHz frequency in the Brussels area.

In November 1995, the German-speaking version, Radio Contact (Eupen) was created for the German Community of Belgium.

Today, Radio Contact is one of the most popular radio stations in the French and German-speaking Community of Belgium.
